Is Christian Bale out as Batman for the third installment of the new franchise? Well according to The Herald Sun his Terminator Salvation co-star Sam Worthington is being tipped to replace him in the third Batman prequel?

Am I the only one who hadn’t heard that Bale was considering not returning as the caped crusader or that they didn’t even want to bring him back? One exposed bad day on a set is not a reason to replace someone, especially someone as talented as Christian Bale. 

Personally I wonder if Worthington’s people leaked this story in order to get some press for their star? He is Australian and the paper that broke it is from Down Under?

Do you want see Bale back as Batman or would you like someone new in the suit like Worthington?

The prosecution has spoken, and they have decided that Christian Bale should only receive a warning. The warning though is only good if he decides to plead guilty to assault in the incident that occurred with his mother and sister last month prior to the Dark Knight premiere.

If Christian decides to plead not guilty, then he would face charges still, and the possibility of imprisonment. Kind of a tough situation for Christian. It seems as if nothing wrong had occurred, that they would just let him go with no charges being filed.

So, something must have happened. It sucks for him that he can walk away with a wrist slap if he pleads guilty, but then every a-hole blogger like myself could start every post about him with the fact that he was convicted of assault on his mom and sister. That doesn’t sound like loads of fun.

I think he should plead not guilty and take his chances if he didn’t do anything. The problem with pleading guilty is that everyone forgets the facts of the case and only remembers the result.

Christian Bale skirted questions about the assault allegations against him Tuesday at the Japanese premiere of “The Dark Knight.”

British media has reported that Bale’s mother and sister told police he assaulted them at the hotel a day before attending the film’s European premiere.

But the Batman star managed to make it through the hugely successful movie’s premiere in Japan with virtually no comment on his personal problems.

“It’s a private matter,” he told a crowded news conference. Last week, in Spain, Bale brushed off reporters with a similar comment.

Bale has said through his lawyers that the assault allegations are false.

The 34-year-old Welsh actor’s personal drama hasn’t hurt the movie. It crossed the $300 million mark in just 10 days in the U.S. and is expected to do well in Europe and Asia.

Bale and his co-stars were at no loss for words over the performance of the late Heath Ledger, who stole the show with his eccentric and highly charged portrayal of the Joker.

“You could see how much glee and pleasure he got out of playing this character,” Bale said of Ledger, who died in January.

Bale was the child star of Steven Spielberg’s “Empire of the Sun” in 1987. His screen credits also include “American Psycho,” “The Machinist” and “Batman Begins.”

“The Joker claims the only things you can believe in are chaos and disorder,” Bale said. “There is some truth to that.”

Christian Bale has been accused of assaulting his mom and sister before The Dark Night premier. Scotland Yard police say they didn’t seek to arrest him on the night of the premier because of the gravity of the night. They also claim he isn’t a flight risk. Other than him apparently having some family issues, his movies seemed to rock the box offices at an astounding $158 million.

You go boy.

The Sun says, A source said: “It was a very difficult situation but it would have been wrong to have wrecked the premiere over a complaint which we don’t yet know is founded in truth.”

Christian Bale, the infamous American Psycho, is apparently and American nice boy as well. Flaunting his hot model girlfriend around the streets of NYC, he took time out of his schedule to sign autographs for some loser kid in jean shorts. Um, aren’t autographs kind of for the creepy people in society? You know, the ones that actually think they already know the celeb?

Anyways, the moral of the story is this: Christian Bale gets really hot tail.

Christian Bale has opened up about his The Dark Knight co-star Heath Ledger who died after the film wrapped. “I want to talk about Heath,” Bale tells the upcoming issue of Parade magazine. “When you miss somebody, you want to speak about him.”

“He was a unique character, a very infectious character. He was a good man, and I was glad to have spent time with him. He was somebody who I’d been seeing on a daily basis for months,” Bale says in Parade. “It takes a long time to accept that someone’s gone, when all body and mind are telling you that this is somebody you will know for a great deal of time. He was something of a kindred spirit to myself.”

Why has Bale chosen to openly discuss such a painful loss?

“Much of it has to do with my respect for his daughter, whom he loved so dearly and whom he would talk about so often. For me, that is of incredible importance.”

It’s shocking. He’ll shock you. Heath will shock you.” Meanwhile, toxicology reports won’t be back for another 8 days. An autopsy has proved inconclusive.
